Groin boil: If it is not too big you might cure it by putting a glob of 10per cent benzoyl peroxide on it under occlusion (band aid or better yet small piece of cellophane Apply warm moist heat 5x a day if it is larger and it may drain on its own Some need to be lanced in the doctors office if too large or painful
